English Observed: A Handbook of Language Awareness

English Observed is a challenging book for all teachers of English – especially those teaching English to foreign students. The author has observed many areas of modern English where the speaker of the writer seems to ´break the rules´. His examples of educated speech and writing pose disturbing questions to everyone who sees ´correct´ English in black and white terms.
Are you sure you never make ´mistakes´? Can we agree what a ´mistake´ is? This book will make you more aware of your own English and the English around you.
